Gives me great pleasure to share with the world the labs latest paper, reviewing the nascent but growing area of endogenous thymic regeneration. Great to work with the marvelous trainees David and Dante on this. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Endogenous thymic regeneration: restoring T cell production following injury - Nature Reviews Immunology
This Review discusses recent advances in our understanding of the biology of endogenous tissue regeneration in the thymus, highlighting the clinical implications of poor thymic recovery.

New year, new Bluesky account, new paper🥳

ENPP1 degrades extracellular ATP and the cGAS/STING messenger cGAMP, and is therefore important for immune regulation. We generated nanobodies against ENPP1 and found a cell type-specific expression pattern in human blood👩🏼‍🔬

Excited to see so many scientists joining Bluesky🦋
Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added
